    The document summarizes the history of Kievan Rus' and the rise of Moscow as the dominant power in medieval Russia from the 9th century to the 15th century. It describes how Kievan Rus' was initially dominated by Viking rulers but later adopted Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Mongol invasions in the 13th century weakened Kievan Rus' and led many Slavs to migrate north. The Grand Duchy of Moscow emerged as a vassal state of Kievan Rus' and eventually absorbed its territories while cooperating with the Mongols. Under rulers like Ivan III in the 15th century, Moscow grew into a powerful national state that competed with Lithuania for control of former Kievan Rus
